Step 2: Prep Meringues

Take those 3 egg whites that you so wisely set aside from step 1, and put them in your mixer. Whisk on high until they are light and fluffy. Slowly, whisk in 1 3/4 cups of sugar. Keep whisking until meringue reaches a stiff peak, and is shiny.

Spoon into a piping bag (or a Ziplock with a corner snipped off) and make small dollops on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Remember: these are going into ice cream, so no need to make them too big.

Place into oven and cook for approximately 30 minutes, until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container until you're mixing them into the ice cream.

Warning: These are so tasty that people will come and snack on them, as evidenced by mikeasaurus. Take caution.

Step 4: Make Ice Cream

When everything's had plenty of time to cool (I waited the better part of a day) it's time to make ice cream!

Pour your batter into your ice cream maker, and let it run. After about 15-20 minutes, or less if you have a better machine, your ice cream should have a nice frozen texture. Pour out into a mixing bowl (metal's best). After breaking apart "crust" bits, fold them into the ice cream, along with the meringues. Lightly drizzle lemon curd into mixture, and fold in so there are curdy-swirls.

If your ice cream still isn't quite firm enough to scoop after all this stirring, place your bowl back in the freezer for a couple hours.

Step 5: Scream for Ice Cream!

**In the interest of Pi Day, I have also developed a(n incredibly delicious) recipe for apple pie ice cream. Check it out!**

This sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing. I need to try this soon! ;)

This sounds SO good. Lemon Meringue is my favorite kind of pie (that, or maybe pumpkin! :))<br><br>I'll definitely have to try this- Where do you find the lemon curd- in the baking section of the grocery store? I've made it before, so maybe I could just use that recipe! :-P<br><br>Good job! :)

I think I'll try this one first because I think I've had apple pie ice cream before, but never lemon meringue ice cream. Thank you for posting it, and good luck with this one too!

Good call - this was my personal favorite of the two. Let me know how yours turns out!
